- dead process blocking TCP port?
- Posted by sp05 on March 16th, 2006
I have a service that terminated abnormally, causing a TCP port to be blocked
and not released, so I can't start the service again. If I do a 'netstat
-ano' I see the PID of the blocking process to be 5108, but 5108 is no longer
in the process table - tasklist doesn't show it, so I can't kill it, and I
don't know any other way to clear the port. Can someone tell me how to clear
the port for a dead process?
Thanks for any help.

Reboot?
If the task re-appears scan for malware.

Sorry, I meant "without rebooting" - it's an active server. I figured
rebooting would work but it's not really an option right now. Thanks for the
reply, though.

If you're not familiar with www.sysinternals.com and you are administering
servers then check them out. Very useful tools.

Check to see if the service is dependant on any other services which also
may not be started and then start those services first. Also look in the
application/system logs to see if anything is recorded there as far as
error/warnings that may be of help. Going to http://www.eventid.net can
often give helpful information on Event IDs as can searching Google. ---
